Before Tanning

• Waxing, pedicures and facials should be done at least one day prior to tanning session.
• Bathe, shave and exfoliate with wash cloth and an exfoliant scrub.  This will sluff off the dead skin cells so the tan will last longer.
• No lotions, perfumes and minimal make up and deodorant.  These act as barriers and affect the depth of the tan.
• Bring loose dark fitting clothing and flip flops to wear afterwards.  Tight clothes and jeans may cause tan to wear off. It is recommend to wait for 4 hours before putting on tight clothing.

After Tanning 

• Avoid perspiring, washing hands and other water activities as this may cause it to streak until first shower. 
• Shower in 8-12 hours using an alcohol-free shower gel.  You will see the cosmetic bronzer wash off, this is normal.
• Moisturize twice a day with alcohol free lotion.  Hydrated skin makes your tan last longer.  Alcohol based products are drying to the skin making the tan fade quicker. 
• Use sharp razors, avoid exfoliating skin and a hair removal and bleach products on your skin.
• Avoid exfoliating and wash clothes.
• Avoid long hot showers/baths and pat dry with towel after shower.
• Avoid hot tubs, pools and oceans.  If so, use a waterproof sunscreen to seal it in.
• Apply sunscreen when UV tanning because your skin is not protected.

Add an additional 3-5 days to the life of the tan with a tanning extender
